5. A generous menu of in-port excursions At each port, Scenic offers a diverse array of organized activities and excursions to choose from. ‘Freechoice’ means that clients won’t be simply be doing the expected; they’ll be connecting with new places in ways that are most meaningful to them. Best of all, because they’re often forging new paths, Scenic travelers rarely find themselves lined up behind other groups to get a glimpse of the sights. In some destinations, clients are even invited to dine at the homes of local families or hear special recitals at a church or castle. No matter which options clients select, they’ll be led by vetted English-speaking local guides — and there won’t be any added charges.


6. Exclusive experiences that take travelers behind the scenes Scenic passengers can expect to gather at an 18th-century estate for an ‘Enrich’ evening in France’s Médoc countryside, featuring a four- course dinner, Grand Cru wines and a classical music concert. Another evening, the Mumm Champagne house in Reims hosts a four- course dinner with matched vintages. And, at the opulent Palais Liechtenstein, guests can sip fine Austrian Sekt, then listen to music by Strauss and Mozart. Romantic ‘Sundowner’ events include a private tasting of port wine varietals on the terrace of Portugal’s Douro Museum, overlooking the vineyards.


7. Onboard entertainment that connects with local culture Scenic brings its destinations on board


with far more than port talks. While traveling through Germany and Austria, couples might learn to waltz and be entertained by a Bavarian brass band. In France, passengers enjoy sultry, sonorous chansons. Te Hungarian State Folk Ensemble comes aboard to perform folk music and dance. And, experts lecture on timely topics such as the European Union. For the line’s newest innovation, Scenic Culinaire, a hands-on cooking experience rolled out this year, six cabins were transformed on its France-based ships to make room for a dedicated cooking center.
